H.S.H. Albert II, Prince of Monaco, tries out the Venturi Fétish at the Top Marques auto show in Monaco

Venturi, the Monaco-based supercar manufacturer, got some royal attention at the Top Marques auto show held in the Principality of Monaco on the Riviera from April 20-23, 2006.
H.S.H. Albert II, Prince of Monaco, got behind the wheel of the Venturi Fétish, the company’s hyper-expensive (450,000 Euros) electric-powered sports roadster.
The Fétish wraps an aluminum and carbon-fiber body around a 180 kW (roughly 300hp) electric motor, good for 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds.
Albert II also inspected the first Venturi Héritage, a new race car that is derived from the company’s 600 SLM racer.
